Joyce Edlin - Top Prize Drawing winner of $150,000 Joyce's lucky instant game, $150,000 Texas Hold 'Em		Cincinnati... Joyce Edlin, 47, of Cincinnati, was surprised with a $150,000 check for winning the $5 Texas Hold ‘Em drawing. Ms. Edlin will take home $103,500. “What this means is that my youngest daughter can go to college without a worry,” Edlin said. “When I bought the ticket, I had just gone into the store to get a soda. I bought the ticket and the (retailer) told me I’d won $1,000 and TPD. I had no idea what that meant.”
		Joyce L. Edlin poses with her big check.
		What that means is this: Ohio Lottery instant tickets of $5 or more have the TPD feature. If the winning combination on an instant ticket lists “TPD” as the prize, the winner receives an instant cash prize and automatic entry into a drawing for the top prize offered in that game. The TPD drawing comes after the close of the game, which sometimes means that the ticket was purchased a year or so before the drawing actually occurs.
